AWS is King of Cloud đź‘‘

What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
Different array of products that have been evaluated over time and proven to be effective for the required workload. They do not only have the three different popular models ( IAAS, PAAS and SAAS ) they also have lots of managed services that you can use for your specific use case. AWS is truly a market leader
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like fact that there hasn't been any issue or need so far that our company or clients we work with have not been able to resolve using AWS.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Well, nothing good comes cheap but it's worth it in AWS. For this, I will always say make sure you have only qualified people to do your work and they will know how to help your company manage and save costs.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Get the free tier account and try to see if its best suited for your need and workload before jumping in. But trust me if you have tasted other cloud providers and you decide to use AWS, I really doubt if you will turn your back especially if your environment is not multi cloud .
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
